Good point above about recalibration. Also I would suggest looking into app settings and turning off background run access to a lot of them. By default most of the apps will run in the background and connect to their servers. It uses up bother the battery and data needlessly.

Hey Donald, my nexus6 still has original battery and I haven't forced any updates. I'm on version 7.1.1, build number N6F27M. My battery life is great, last security patch was Oct 5 2017. I believe when I received the last update that I was one of the last to get it. Don't know what gives but you should be on 7.1.1. Good Luck.

I bought my Nexus 6 on Amazon and not Google directly. I did not get updates like I would have had the phone been bought directly from Google. Oddly my carrier is Project-Fi.
